Cazorla (Jaén)
We know that Andalucía is full of incredible architecture, beautiful landscapes, and people that will make you feel at home. However, in our opinion, one of the provinces that tends to slip under the radar is the province of Jaén. This is a true shame since it has some of the most beautiful villages in Andalucía. A good example is Cazorla, a town that has been declared a Site of Culture Interest. So, when visiting this village, you cannot miss the Castle of Yedra, also known as the Castle of Las Cuatro Esquinas, or the old convent of Los Padres Mercedarios, which nowadays it is used as the City Council. Additionally, you can go for a hike, in the Natural Park of las Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas has been declared as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and offers a multitude of routes for all levels.
One of the best alternatives for visiting Cazorla, is to make use of the local motorhome area which is located 900 away from the city center.
